Other - Social Media Marketplace Scam

I was sold a washer and dryer under what he said were in "Excellent Condition". Both washer and dryer were broken and utterly filthy when panels were removed after delivery for diagnosis. The washer needed a new pump and still doesn't work right, the dryer simply will not turn on. He also made an attempt to double charge me for delivery. When I texted him about the mechanical issues he stopped responding. This was all through Facebook Market Place which ignored my report. He goes by "Larry Ignatiadis" but I'm not sure "Larry" is his real name but it was Greek in origin. He's made claims about having a warehouse in Wilbraham, MA, said he had a location in Enfield, however the pick-up location was at his residence (or girlfriend's residence) on Wedgewood Circle, Springfield MA off of Kent road. Many of his appliances seem to be photographed from inside the garage where I selected the washer and dryer for delivery. He is still active on Facebook and there are many complaints like mine almost verbatim (selling completely broken appliances).

Moving

I was forwarded an email regarding a piano being given away and the buyer would just pay for the moving. I emailed the person giving the piano away and “she” sent me to a moving company who had the piano. Brisk moving company responded that the delivery fee would be $563 according to my address. They required delivery payment before they would set up the delivery. So I foolishly wired money to him from my bank. Then this morning he emailed and said “we’ve hit a snag, the company is requiring a one time refundable insurance fee of $1300. I said no I was not paying anymore money upfront. He told me “he did his part” and didn’t agree to refund my money. I called my bank and they were opening up an investigation into fraud and he has cut off any further correspondence, and so have I.

On June 21st at 4:09, I called Roku customer service phone number from Google. A man answered & I asked for help in paying my paramount plus bill, so he transferred me to someone else. Again I told him my name & what I wanted. A few seconds went by, & out of the blue he told me that my account was being hacked in Russia & Mexico, & that he was going to help me fix it. He told me to download the app help desk on my phone. Once I opened it he told me what to do. I'm the meantime he was asking me what bank I use, & I told him & do I use cash app., PayPal, or Venmo. I said yes. Well I thought it was kinda odd so I asked for his name. Her said it was Christian Morgan. 8 also asked for his employee I. D. Which was APS5002. However he had an Iranian accent. All of a sudden numbers started flying back & forth from my bank account to cash app. PayPal but not Venmo cause I told him I was in the negative with them at the time. Anyways I asked him where he was calling from & he said better business beareau. I was getting suspicious, he had total control of my phone now. I asked if I had someone I can trust to call & verify my identity, so I called my friend. Once he Alex her to download the same app. I knew something wasn't right, so I hung up the phone. That's when i saw that he had taken $537 out of my bank account with capital one, & transferred it to my cash app account & put it on a green dot card ending in 3116. I hold Roku responsible, & I want to be compensated for my loss. I was in absolute despair & anguish over what happened to me. Now I'm concerned over what information he has about me

Employment - Employment

After verifying my identification in person at the Mississippi Department of Employment Security in Clarksdale, MS. On 7/3/2025, I applied in person using my driver's license, social security card, and resume for a Data Entry position that could only be applied for in person. I was contacted via text by Eddie White from Atruvia AG at 509-416-0760 later that day to request an interview. I interviewed with Susan Tally of Austin, TX via Microsoft Teams on 7/4/2025 and was offered the position of Data Entry later that day. On today, 7/7/2025, I received an email from [email protected] with attachments of a job description for Data Entry, offer letter, and benefits details. After I signed the offer letter and emailed it back the address listed, Susan and I had the following exchange via Microsoft Teams: Susan replied: I know your qualification and the position you desire, but the position we have to fill currently available is Payroll assistant. Please understand that it might only be done for a short while before you start working in the Data Entry position you desire. Also you will not be doing much working in the Payroll Assistant position, this is because we have an accounting department as well a payroll manager who will be handling majority of the finance and day to day activities. I replied: This is unexpected. I have no experience with producing payroll. Will I get new paperwork detailing the job requirements for Payroll Assistant? Are the pay and benefits the same? Will my training be for the Payroll Assistant position? Susan replied: What you will be doing will be very easy, easier than the Data entry position. And it will be for a short while. All benefits are the same. And if you wish to wait for the Data Entry position, I can give you updates on that later today. Yes, you will get paperwork for it. Let me finish briefing you on what you will be doing, if you agree to work in payroll for a short while. I replied: I will accept the Payroll Assistant position and transition into the Data Entry position later. Please send me new documentation for the Payroll Assistant position. Susan replied: Okay good. What will you be doing as a Payroll Assistant? We have customers and investors who have been with the company for years, and some who are disabled. Our customers issue payments to us for services provided to them, and then we have disabled customers who issue out too, but majority of them make use of credit cards only and they can only pay us via credit card payment only. So what you will be doing is receiving and keeping record of the credit card payments, majority of the time we issue out a credit card sample to you. For example, when the company's credit card is sent and issued to you, your work is to make payments with the credit card as instructed and keep record of it. For every payment made, you will are entitled to 20%, which means when you are about to make a payment of $500, you are to deduct $100 for yourself. And payments are made almost everyday (Mon-Fri) I replied: Is the 20% in addition to the hourly rate? What makes me entitled to receive 20% of a payment? Is this legitimate? Susan replied: Yes, this is 100% legit. No the 20% is the payment for the Payroll. As stated it is not a must. If you do not wish to proceed with the position it is fine. The data entry position will commence this week, if you wish to wait. I replied: I decline the position. Susan replied: The Payroll? or all positions? I replied: All positions People are using a government agency (MDES) to recruit others to join them to scam the elderly and disabled with credit cards/debit cards. I reported this to the MDES office, the FBI and completed their IC3 form, and the Federal Trade Commission. I wanted to be thorough in my reporting. Please try to do something about this.

Home Improvement - Home Improvement - Appliance Repair Team Inc / A Team Appliance Repair

*** ******* *** ****** *** ** ********** ********* *** ********** * KitchenAid Refrigerator (Model KRMF706EBS01) To Whom It May Concern: On June 25, 2025, I contacted The A Team Appliance Repair regarding a malfunctioning ice maker in my KitchenAid refrigerator (Model KRMF706EBS01). Prior to the technician’s visit, I conducted diagnostics in accordance with the manufacturer’s technical documentation, which indicated an issue with the water fill valve. When the technician arrived, he did not perform any diagnostic tests as per the kitchen aid technical information available online. He only did a cursory visual examination of the empty ice maker (although I note he states on his invoice he tested the appliance. I was there. He did not. ) He said that a full ice machine replacement was necessary. I specifically requested that diagnostics be performed, but he insisted he could determine the problem without them with his knowledge. He quoted $536.30 for the part, with a total cost for parts and service of $933.71. I was required to pay the amount in advance and was advised the part would arrive and be installed within the next 2-3 days. He provided me an invoice to sign and told me he needed only a debit (not visa) payment. Because of the circumstances, I did not check to find the cost of the part online.On July 4, after receiving no follow-up, I called to inquire about installation. I was put on hold and told that she could send a technician the following day to install my new ice maker. During the visit, my husband pointed out that items in the freezer, such as ice cream, were not frozen. He was told the freezer had been overloaded so the technician did not look at it and said a new service call would be necessary. We were told that ice would be made in 3 hours. After he left, we took everything out of the freezer and put in a new box of frozen popsicles. After 6 hours, the ice maker still did not function. As stated by the fridge diagnostics originally, the water fill function did not engage, and diagnostic testing again indicated a water fill issue—precisely the same as before. I contacted the company for assistance relaying that the issue was not the ice maker but something having to do with the water line filling the icemaker. I was told (with a greatly rude attitude) that a non-functioning unit did not mean the original ice maker was not defective, and that the replacement part could not be returned since the packaging had been opened by the repairman. I was further advised that a warranty review was underway, and I would be contacted within a week and would have to wait. Later that same day, I confirmed that the freezer was still not operating correctly, even when almost empty, so I called again. I was told another technician could be sent to assess the freezer. Subsequently, I discussed the issue with a friend— who owns the same refrigerator model and is very handy. He substituted my original (supposedly inoperable) ice maker in his own fridge and found it to be fully functional, producing ice within hours. On July 7, I contacted the company once more, requested that the original ice maker be reinstalled when they came to look at the freezer, and asked for a refund of the replacement unit that had not been necessary. I was informed that a refund would not be issued because the packaging had been opened. This is unacceptable. The diagnosis was incorrect, and the technician did not follow the appropriate diagnostic procedures. Furthermore, the replacement part was grossly overpriced. KitchenAid lists the ice maker part in the range of $81.96 - $100 not $536.30. And that charge did not include the additional service. See link below. ********************************************************************************* **************************************************************** I have since reviewed the company online and found over 480 reviews on Trustpilot, 94% of which are 1-star, with numerous complaints describing similar experiences and complaints of fraud and scam. (***********************************************************) This is not a situation of having difficulty fixing a fridge. They misrepresented and performed no diagnosis, grossly overcharged me for a new ice producer by hundreds of dollars when it was unnecessary **** ***** ** ***** **** * ***** ** *** ***** and refused to refund the part.

Employment

So, here’s the story. It all started last Wednesday, July 9th. I received an email from someone claiming to be a recruiting assistant from Indeed. They offered me a part-time, remote online job. The job was to help update data for the App Store, increase app views and downloads, and other stuff. They even said they’d provide free training! They claimed it had flexible working options, like part-time or full-time schedules, 60 to 90 hours a week, four days a week, with the chance to earn extra money on weekends. If I was interested, I could text 7733350459. Later, I texted the number and the person’s name, Adina. She said she was a recruiting assistant for Indeed. She said her company, AppsFlyer, was looking for employees to increase clicks and views for well-known companies and was willing to pay for the work. After I agreed, they told me to download an app called Telegram Messenger so they could send me messages. They will send me a code to contact the “business manager,” Elizabeth. After sending the code, Elizabeth responded. She introduced herself and guided me through the steps. She asked for my age, name, profession, and Bitcoin or Ethereum receiving address. Since I didn’t have those addresses, she asked if I had Cash App, PayPal, my US Social Security Number, or a driver’s license. I didn’t provide any of those, and she didn’t want them either. She then suggested downloading MetaMask. I downloaded it and followed her instructions. Simultaneously, I screenshot the apps on the App Store for the APP Tasks and sent them to her. She paid me $5 for each of the tasks. Next, she explained the Merchant Prepaid Node Task. In this task, I gave them money, earned a 30% commission, and got a refund. The first task was $50, and I would get $65 back. She also asked me to complete two more tasks and 9 APP, which involved screenshotting and sending her images. So, after setting up MetaMask, she wanted me to put the $50 into the app. I had to transfer money from the account into it, then convert it to Bitcoin. Elizabeth guided me through depositing money in the app, converting it to crypto, and sending it to her. But there was a problem! My crypto account couldn’t be withdrawn from my wallet because of my location. She suggested SafePal, and I followed the setup process. However, when I tried to set up my banking information, I couldn’t input the pending number on my account. She suggested withdrawing cash using Cash App, which went smoothly. I deposited the cash, converted it to Bitcoin, and gave her the code. Then, she directed me to Richard, an “mentor” who helped me convert the money to their Bybit account, which didn’t look like the real Bybit website, convert it, gave me another code to give to Elizabeth to deposit money into my Bitcoin account on Cash App and withdraw it into my bank account. So, I had this crazy experience with these people who claimed to work for the company. I first approached Elizabeth and Richard about a potential scam, but they denied it. The next day, things got even crazier. I ended up giving them $300, and then Richard tried to squeeze another $700 out of me for a second node task. I thought I was supposed to do one task a day, but nooo, they wanted more! I was hesitant at first, but I tried to send them money through Cash App, but it wouldn’t let me because I had gone over my limit. They then suggested I download PayPal, but I don’t have one. Then they wanted me to download the Crypto.com app, and it was going smoothly, but the transaction was taking forever. So, I went back to Cash App and tried again, and this time, it worked! We did the same thing as the day before with Bitcoin. I gave him the code, he went to it, and we went to the Bybit website to finish the process. After that, well, let me tell you, he was trying to confirm with the merchant to see if it was a match, and it took all night! Then he said, ‘We’ll come back to it tomorrow around 11 a.m. and see if it went through.’ The next morning, it was successful, but then they proposed another node task. This time, they wanted $3000 from me! They claimed I would finish the Merchant Prepaid Node Task and become their employee. I knew right away that this was a scam after all that, so I demanded my money back, but they wouldn’t budge. I then went back to Adina, and she started talking just like the people on Telegram. I knew something was off when she threatened to sue me if I didn’t complete the task. That’s when I realized I had been scammed! So, I know this was a long story to tell, but I did my best to get the word out about these people who claim to work for the company but turn out to be frauds.

I wanted to buy a dog for my husband and i was refferred to Crystal. I called her and she told me she was a dog breeder. She told me she was on hard times and i sympathized with her. My husband and i picked up the dog at her address. She said the dog was pad and crate trained. But if you breed dogs, you would know that pad training means the dog is only trained to use the bathroom on pads and not on your floor. I gave it the benefit of the doubt that the dog was in a new environment and needed time to adjust but after having him for over a week and him pooping on everything else but the pad and contacting her and saying we needed to take him outside to use the bathroom, i knew we had been had. When i confronted her about it, i got cussed out and got told we were dumband didnt know how to bring up dogs and trying to just get a mate. My daughter has a male dog of thr same breed as we have, so if that was the case, i would have taken my female dog and mated her with my daughters male dog without paying for a male dog outside because what sense would that have made.

Again that number is 833-859-0555.’ It was a computer generated message which first tipped me off that it is a scam.

Just want help someone else out to not fall victim to this scam
